66:1 | Shout with joy to God, all the earth! |
66:2 | Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious! |
66:3 | Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you. |
66:4 | All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name." Selah |
66:5 | Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man's behalf! |
66:6 | He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot--come, let us rejoice in him. |
66:7 | He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations--let not the rebellious rise up against him. Selah |
66:8 | Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard; |
66:9 | he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping. |
66:10 | For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver. |
66:11 | You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. |
66:12 | You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance. |
66:13 | I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you-- |
66:14 | vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble. |
66:15 | I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Selah |
66:16 | Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me. |
66:17 | I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue. |
66:18 | If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; |
66:19 | but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. |
66:20 | Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me! |
